sriaicIFIcA'rIoNfor,E g-paa of Letters Patent No. 416,903, dated Dcembeflo, 1889. i APlimo11 filed May 19,1388- Serial No. 274,417. (No model.) 'y

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL M. DANIELsoN, a subject of the King of Sweden and Norway, residing at Rockford, in the county of Win.-

nebago and State of Illinois, have inventeda certain new and useful Improvementin Pipe-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to construct a pipe-holder capable of ready adj nstment to suit different-sized pipe; and it consists of av stationary jaw having a serrated connection with the base-plate, and made adjustable,

and a pivoted jaw with a serrated toothed pipe.

My holder has laterally-projecting `iianges 3,- which are perforated, and by means of bolts 4, passing through the base plank and iianges, the holder is held in place on the base-plank, when the screw-nuts 5 are turned in place on the projecting ends of the bolts.

Ears 6 rise from the main portion 7 of the at 11. A web 12 gives strength to the parts.`

. A rear extension 13, with its upturned end, forms a treadle, by means of which this portion of the holder is oscillated upon its pivot.

The upper face of the portion 14E of the holder is serrated, as shown at 15, Fig. 2, and

' made adjustable.

serrated and engages the upper faceof `the portion 14.

, wise slot 17, and by means of a bolt 1S, passing through the portion 14C` and slot 17, thel jaw is clamped to the base. By loosening the nut 19 the jaw` may be adjusted to or from the pivoted jaw, as desired. `The face of this jaw is of V form, which engages the pipe to be held.

In raising or lowering the. pipe the operator will place his footupon the treadle and press downward, whichwill raise the pivoted jaw and cause it to release its hold upon the pipe. The pipe 20 may then be adj usted, as desired, or a new length screwed on or one removed therefrom.

By loosening the screw-nut 19 the jaw 16 can be adjusted to hold pipes varying in size, and the serrated` connection of the jaw with its base will hold the parts when adjusted.

I am aware that pipe-holders have heretofore been constructed in which a stationary jaw and a movable jaw have been employed and in which the stationary jaw has been claim, broadly, these features, but simply my construction of the parts.`

I claim as my invention- 1. A pipe-holder comprising a suitable support provided with a sidev opening for the passage of a pipe to be held, `a holding-jaw pivotally secured to the support and having` f formed integral therewith a treadle located on the opposite side of the pivot rfrom the jaw, a holding-jaw adjustable toward and away from the path of the pivoted jaw, and means for locking the adjustable holdingjawfirmly to the support in the desired adj ustment, substantially as set forth.

2. A pipe-holder comprising a suitable support adapted to only partially surround the pipe to be held, a holding-jaw pivoted to the support and having a cam-face and a treadle formed integral with the jaw, an adjustable This movable jaw vhas a length-` y y the under face of the movable jaw 16 is also l Therefore I do not seek to jaw having a serrated engagement with its` support, and a locking device to secure the adjustable jaw firmly to itssupport atdifferi ent distances from the pivotpd jaw, substan tiallyas set forth.
